Pass GED Math Fast with the Onsego Calculator Course

Some time ago, I wrote a post about the GED prep course designed by Onsego. This is the perfect course for students looking for an online GED® prep course that doesn’t tell them in what order they should go over all the study material.

But there’s more to the Onsego program that I probably didn’t highlight enough. In the Advantage Plan, you not only get four GED Ready® practice tests for free (a $28 value), but you’ll also get Onsego’s GED Calculator course at no extra charge! It’s all included in the Advantage Plan which costs only $79.

So you’ll get a full GED prep course that covers everything that’s found on the current GED test, but additionally, you’ll get a motivational course, a quitting protection plan, four GED Ready tests, and a GED Calculator course, all included in the price.

The Onsego online GED prep course is recognized by GED Testing Service as one of only 20 programs to be entirely aligned to the latest edition of the computer-based GED exam.

GED Math is challenging

For most GED hopefuls, Math is the most challenging of the four GED sub-exams. So many students reach sufficient results on the other three sub-exams but give up going after their GED when they fail the math section time and again and realize math poses such high obstacles.

Well, here is the solution. Onsego developed a great and easy-to-understand course that teaches you how to attain a passing score on the GED Math subtest without understanding a lot about Math in the first place.

The Teacher at the Center of Education? Is that so?!

All fifty states base their education policy on the notion that the educational process centers on the teacher. Since 1952, the government has placed nearly all its educational eggs in the certification basket.

Despite the lack of evidence that teacher certification positively affects student outcomes. Still, states cling to it. Worse, many parents believe that trained teachers can do a better job. So is the teacher at the center of education? Is that so?

Of course, gifted teachers exist, and they benefit from good training. That doesn’t mean that they can teach your children better than you can. My experience as a teacher convinced me to homeschool my own children. I realized that no amount of skill or training could compensate for a parent’s love and intimate knowledge.

In addition, the classroom setting itself frustrates learning. Confronting a frustrating task in the homeschool tempts parents to think some other remedy might be more effective. Frustration encourages us to believe that a master teacher could help the child master the subject matter with little effort.

Onsego Review- Perfect for Self-Study

When I started out getting ready for the GED test, I was pretty horrible in Math and, to be honest, in the other subject fields as well. I had not been in school for quite a while, and getting back to studying was kind of strange and hard for me.

But then I read about Onsego on Mycareertools.com. Because published some lessons on gedeno.com, I checked them out, and I liked them. So, I got myself a 6-month plan.

The Onsego course really proved to be a great help for improving my skills. The course contains so many practice tests, but you need to be self-disciplined.

When you sign up for the Onsego course and start studying, you can quite easily track your performance as you proceed.

The course includes numerous video lessons that come with transcripts, so you can read them over and over again if you want. The lessons are followed by test questions and explanations. The lessons are fortunately not too long, so they don’t get boring.

Entrepreneurial DNA – What’s Yours?

You can find a good amount of misconceptions hanging around, boosted by icons like Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg, that you should be in your 20’s, and include a rigorous way of thinking and a huge ego. So when we talk about Entrepreneurial DNA – what’s yours?

But, as outlined by a comprehensive study carried out by a startup incubator, these people are merely outliers.

Smart companies used to go to great trouble to build their reputations – literally. They’d build plush and cozy branch offices that practically radiated that invaluable commodity, trust.

Then came other tools – deploying armies of smooth-talking salespeople to play golf with the clientele (and to smooth over any problems) or broadcasting hours of online language development and reassuring television commercials.

If none of those tactics reached the customer, the customer could literally reach for the product itself. Trust was easily built and tested at every step.

Invest in Customer Service (and cut your Advertising Budget)

What do you think would happen if you took 10% of your advertising budget and invested it in customer service? Your immediate reaction might be to think that whilst it’s a nice idea, it’s too risky to cut an advertising budget that doesn’t quite go far enough already. No Marketer in their right mind would willingly give up some of their budgets anyway, right?

I’ll be honest, I’d be a little nervous making that suggestion to my Finance Director too. But let’s just play out the thought process here:

  • It’s often cheaper to retain an existing customer than it is to acquire a new one. This makes sense, as you already have the customer, you’ve just got to keep them happy. Yet, so many companies focus more on finding new business and playing the tricky – and costly – game of trying to convert prospects
  • Look at your current promotions. They’re aimed at new customers right? Sign up and get 5000 free minutes of phone calls. Transfer your account and receive a $100 bonus. When you’ve been a customer of a business for several years, how do you feel when you see a better deal being offered to new – and sometimes brand-hopping – customers? Shouldn’t you be rewarding loyalty in your customers instead?
